Dr. Heinrich Schenker Vienna III.

Dear Sir,

We have passed your wishes2 in respect of the printing of the “New Musical Theories” on to the printers, who will now make the changes to the gatherings you have looked through so far and then prepare revised proofs for you.3 From now on, the first proofs will be sent to you in galleys.

We have the honor of returning, in accordance with your wishes, the portion of the manuscript from which music examples are still lacking at the points marked.4 We take the liberty of pointing out in this connection that one music example is lacking also on p.41, already set.

With kind regards,
[ sign’d: ] Heirs of J. G. Cotta’s Bookdealership
